Matt Sergeant has updated XML::XPath and created a new module, Apache::XMLStylesheet for connecting stylesheet processing to Perl.

The updates to XML::XPath fix a minor bug, include a lot more documentation, and add functions for finding lists of nodes and values. XML::XPath is also available on CPAN.

Apache::XMLStylesheet provides an easy way to process the xml-stylesheet processing instruction using Perl. It emerged from Sergeant's earlier Apache::XPath::NotXSLT work, but can be used more generically with other modules. The module performs courtesy functions like checking that the referenced files actually exist before handing off processing, letting programmers focus on the stylesheet (or stylesheet-like) processing.
